The clinic will be open to the public and all pets are welcome.
The microchip is a small devise that allows veterinarians and shelters to identify the owner and pet using a scanner.

The veterinarians and staff will be donating their time to microchip as many pets as possible in an effort to prevent the displacement, loss and euthanasia that thousands of pets suffered caused by hurricanes and other disasters in the U.S.

Over 6,000 pets were picked up by shelters and veterinary clinics after hurricane Katrina.

Only a fraction of those found there original homes, many were adopted by other families and many of those that were not adopted were euthanized.

In 2007, the Leon County Animal Services impounded 10,652 pets, of those, only 1023 were returned to their owners. Much of this could have been prevented if they were able to identify these pets. A microchip is the best way to protect your pet.

The chip, its application and the life time registration will be $25 dollars.

All proceeds will be donated to Big Bend Disaster Area Response Team (D.A.R.T.)

There are only a limited number of chips, so it’s limited to the first 100 pets to arrive.
